I'm on the Hamb too, and before I owned a Model A, I was mainly a hot rod guy. Once I'd got the A, I grew to love them in most forms, and I love what the barn is about. I don't come here to talk hot rods, I want to see what you all are doing with stock and restored Model As. I've hardly ever...

Brent, you never forget your first. I put a lot of time and energy into this thing, I still get excited about it.

And now its gone to another owner/ caretaker. I hope to keep the main thread on this ol Ford updated on its progress.

A few years on, and the new owner has started a new business, so he decided to sell. I asked if he would give the new owner my details, so I can update thread. Just waiting to hear from him. I had trouble logging in, as its been some time, but I finally remember my log in details. So hopefully...

Sad to add that i sold this truck, but its in good hands. A young diesil mechanic now owns it, and has stripped it back to bare chassis. Hes planning on getting the woodwork in cab fixed, but put it on hold as he just brought a new home.

Wow, great project. Im keen to do an A Speedster someday, and your "inline" style is a different approach. I like it, and look forward to watching your build. Ive also been keen on the water jet for making parts, but not sure if anyone down here has one. Ive seen them on some of those silly car...

Nice. I watched my A leave on a big trailer like that, cept it was yellow.

Well the old truck may belong to a new owner, but that dosent stop me keeping an eye on it. Its getting striped, blasted, painted, and put back together by a guy in his early twenties. Hes planning on keeping it stock, but hes also looking at building a Model A coupe hot rod. Heres some pics i...

Oh the horror! :eek::D You are right Dave, lets leave the kid to do some growing up. And now, back to our regular program......;)

I was asked to build one, and when i opened it, (Phaeton) There were two left sides of the body, and no right side. I checked on the model sites, only to be told Hubbly were finished. Shame i didnt find out Gabriel were remaking them. The quality was really bad anyway.

Thanks Tom. You always have great infomation.

They were great. Thanks.

I often think about my little countrys old roads and early motoring. I guess back then, that sort of terrain was the norm, so nearly all use before the 50s was mostly off road. Now days, maybe we baby old cars more, but they can still cut it. I'll bet more than a few here have got their cars...

Slightly moving away from the topic, but does anyone know how many Model A "knockdowns" were exported from Canada?

Nice photos Super88. Any idea where i can get one of those dog radiator caps? Looks old, but im after something similar for a diffrent project.

I had no idea about these, but would love to hear more.

Im sure Charley would be impressed. Nice work.

Looks like the A is sold, and i have a new toy, that isnt a Ford. Im also collecting parts for a Model A speedster.

Thanks, all info is very helpfull.

You are correct, Tom. Kevin had the painter throw a little black straight over top of the rust. As you can see, they did an ok job of the rear section, but looks like i'll be strippin the front, and doing it properly. Kevin tells me two nights ago, that hes keeping it now, so ive ordered strip...
